Agricultural, manufacturing,
and educational development is
what we need. Carpet the red and
worn fields with blooming clover,
and spreading vines; convert the
water-sick valleys into waving mea-
dows. Let the smoke Of a furnace
and cotton mill hover over Bolivar
let a spoke and hub factory whiz
and roar in another town; let anoth
er roll out blocks of Ice; let another
chisel and fashion furniture for our
homes. Again, tear away the log
school house, and permit its CHASTITY
griuning cracks to appear in the
land no more forever. Give us
nice aud well furnished school build
ing, where The young will feel that
they are in a civilized land, and
where they may be trained and
prepared TO squarely and iearlessly
plunge into The labors Of life.

TEXAS DROUGHT.

Texas has suffered heavily from
dryness for three years. 1t is now
seriously threatened with a very
destructive drought. These ruinous
droughts can be stopped by pla nting
trees on the prairies. Kansas, lii
nois, Colorado, and Nebraska, haye
bean rescued from 4 similar calami-
ty by planting their prairies IN trees.
The same plan will work in Texas.
The State Legislature ought to fix
an arbor day for the Texans, and
make it general holiday. Then the
people would plant trees, and soon
relieve their state from the danger
that so seriously thretens it,

EDUCATIONAL.

The teachers of Tennessee are
raising their profession to height
of dignity and intelligence that
challenges all others for a peer.
The law profession was long regard
ed as the acme profession of learn
ing and talent. 1t has been but a
few years, since sire and mother
believed that, if they could but
anchor their son in the legal profess
sion, they would have achieved for
him the highest honors that any
pursuit can be5tow. But it has
changed. That profession has lost
its distinction, and step by step the
profession Of teaching climbs steadi-
iy upward, until to-day to be a
tutor of young America is an honor
that has no superior. The standard
Of teaching may still be raised by
eiectlng from the profession those
who are unfit for the high vocation.
and those who are stepped and
dyed in moss~backism to that degree
that they not only refuse to qualify
them selves, but biGUerly decry every
attemp pit of others TO move onward.
Hardeman has many boldly-al {
teachers. Their work for the chill
dren of this county Will eventually
rise up and call them great.

A Mountain Bully.

A few years ago there died in a
mountain county in East Tennessee
a man who was a noted bully. He
was a splendid specimen Of physic~
al manhood, and was in every re-
spect a fighting bully He would
fight at the drop of hat and could
knock out a half dozen ordinary
men in one round, He would fight
for The fun of it, and he who would
dare cross his path was indeed a
reckless man. In the old days Of
State militia and muster he was
prominent man in the nerghbor--
hood and Colonel Of a militia reg
iment. On muster days, when the
drill was over he would proceed to
clean up the regiment. When he
shed his coat, twisted his huge fist
around few times and yelled at the
top of his voice: Hide out, little
'uns Pm a commit" there would be
q general stampede. This was how
he came to be called "Old Hide Out"
in after years.

A man in Hardeman county, who
had heard that a mule never sleeps
found one stretched out in the sun
one day with his eyes shut. The
mule was breathing heavily and the
man thought that he was asleep, so
he stepped up and tiekled him on
the heel That man is now convinc-
ed that the mule, as a class, suffers
with insomnia, and he-the man
